Having taken due cognisance of the forecasted wind direction, tonight's race will commence at the harbour end of the Promenade. There is ample parking along the length of the Esplanade but, as intimated yesterday evening by Ron Morrison, it may be as well for competitors to park in the large car park at the "Morrisons" end of the promenade and use the mile to the start as a warm-up.

I would refer all competitors to Dave Morton's postings on social media regarding the generous discount being offered in his shop today and the arrangement he has made with Robertsons Coffee Shop in Tolbooth Street, Kirkcaldy for pre and post-race refreshments.

Please also refer to the published list of start times.

This years "guest" runners are two of Fife Athletic Club's best young talents, Owen Miller and Adam Scott, who will set off in a "head-to-head" race just prior to the main event.
